Re: 401 Water Quality Certification Monitoring Plan - Shinn Creek Estates
Dear Paul:
As requested by DWR, enclosed is Shinn Creek Estates proposed project monitoring plan
which includes a detailed outline of measures Shinn Creek Estates will take to meet both
DWR's and USACE/NMFS's desired project monitoring for Certification No. WQC004925. We
worked closely with our consultants Steve Morrison and Greg Finch at Davey Resource Group
to ensure a comprehensive and targeted approach to meet the requirements set out in DWR's
June 9th letter (DWR #20181699v2).
We hope this plan meets your satisfaction and we can receive an expedited approval on our
project from DWR. We began our process for approval in 2016 and therefore have not
completed any maintenance dredging in our channel since our last maintenance in 2013. This 9
year time frame has led to significant buildup that has greatly limited our water access over the
years. With your final approval, we wish to begin our project this Fall after the moratorium with
Pre -construction baseline monitoring performed this August to match up best with previous
Water Quality testing completed August 2018.
We are available for any discussions regarding our proposed monitoring plan upon your
request. We greatly appreciate your consideration of both our monitoring plan and our urgency
to commence this project.
Sincerely,
Ben Stephenson
Shinn Creek HOA Project Lead
